8170-5PL Two Piece: DC Hipot Tester
The 8170-5PL DC Hipot tester provides an economical solution to DC field testing of power cables, terminations, motors, generators and other electrical apparatus. The 8170-5PL features a two-piece construction complete with input line cord; interconnect cable and high voltage output cable. Convenient cable storage space is provided in the control box.
The 8170-5PL tester features accurate kV meter readings regardless of load current. Accurate voltage and current measurements are assured since voltage readings are taken directly at the output of the high voltage transformer and current measurements are taken in the return leg. Safe discharging of both the test object and the high voltage transformer occur whenever the high voltage is turned off. Output power is provided by means of a full-wave voltage doubling rectifier circuit with silicon rectifiers.
Features
- Rugged and portable construction
- Shielded output cable
- Full-wave voltage doubling rectifier circuit
